Review Detail of Sir_Squirrel in Necromantic Gamer's Journey(DxD)
Review detail
honestly, this is a great fic, from the writing quality to the concept of the story and all that, everything about this is great, the only thing that might take away from this story is how often the mc complains and his tendency to sometimes make less than intelligent decisions, but otherwise great fic.

take the unnecessary risk of permanently crippling himself or his cursed energy for a simple power up from the heavenly restriction when he doesn't need it, considering he is the gamer, his growth is guaranteed and direct, why possibly ruin it for a chance to get an early power up
Bronz_Deck:What stupid decision did he make?
Just because he has a system he won't know he has unlimited potential and even if he did potential means nothing when you can't reach it. The risk of the heavenly restriction was worth it for him due to the abysmal lack of CE he had. He had to take every advantage he could. Plus even if he were crippled by the heavenly restriction it is still curable(which happened in the manga) then that would mean mc would get a bonus without downsides.TLDR: the risks outweighed the benefits.

not really, the whole point of a gamer system is that it allows the user to "level up" by simply killing, doing quests...etc, and raising their stats that way, he was going to increase his cp one way or the other, but instead, he chose to have a heavenly restriction that might either cripple him physically which would have stopped him from fighting and leveling up, or crippled his cp reserves which negates your point of him needing more cp, and even if he gets a cure eventually by that point he would be already op, put right now being crippled can be fatal when his methods of fighting are already lacking.

Point is that he doesn't know how strong his system is or what it does. For all he knows it could be bad. Mc realized the bad growth rate of humans and decided that taking a restriction was worth it. If he didn't take it he would barely be able to cast spells at all.Yes it was a risk. He knew the chances of it not going in his favor. But as he said it himself, he was willing to take the risk for power.Fortune favors the bold.

Even the weakest of systems gives linear growth and from what he observed from his stat growth of only one day of levelling he can raise his cp if he only works a little for a week or two, yet instead of maning up and working a bit for a fraction of the time other people need to gain that strength he decided to semi-permanently cripple himself in a way that might have completely ruined his chances for growing stronger or surviving, I mean imagine if he lost his ability to use cp and died in the dungeon because of it, or lost most of his limbs for extra cp but died before even getting a decent spell to use that cp on considering right now his only method of fighting is being up close and personal, or he lost his sight without gaining a sensory ability from the exchange, he basically turned into a sitting duck, this wasn't bold or courageous it was a stupid and reckless decision that was made from his lack of patience and hot-headedness.

He didn't have the time. He had 3 - 4 days until he met the devils. And as for the heavenly restriction crippling him? They don't work like that. A heavenly restriction is equivalent exchange. If he lost his ability to use CE from the restriction then his physical stats would be in the hundreds right now. Or if he got physically crippled he could just throw his raw wave of CE and wipe out the dungeon. Mc. Knowing his lack of time, the lack of potential from his race. And his desperation took a gamble with the heavenly restriction. Was it smart? Debatable. But he knew it wouldn't cripple him for no reason. He knew there was little chance of being actually crippled and he took the gamble.

If he got a superhuman physique from the exchange and lost his cp, his future growth is basically crippled considering his class is a sorcerer and every possible perk, skill, or spell he could get from it or raising int and wis would become useless, and if he lost his limbs at the cost of extra cp than he might as well just kill himself because he is gonna die anyway, cuz by that point he didn't have any useful spells anyway to use on that extra cp, how is he supposed to kill anything or gain xp and level up if he can't even walk or cast any worthwhile spells, and saying he doesn't have time is bs and you know it, because the only real threat that could possibly involve him is the kokabail attack and that's months from now, so what he is going to meet the devils? They are not gonna kill him just because, and in a few months he will already be decently strong based on his current growth, the guy reached 1 third of the level needed to be a high-class devil in just THREE days, he literally did not need to rush himself, and certainly no need to cripple himself doing it.

Thank you for the information, I've read up to chapter 4 and he still complains without doing anything to fix his problem. So considering the author can't comprehend and don't take into value your opinion, I would guess that the MC will never improve his mentality. Author takes into consideration that the MC has only 3 days but just make it so the MC brute forces everything.

Doing nothing by spending 90% of his day in the dungeon? Brute forcing everything by exploiting the dungeon layout and actually training his cursed energy? Those are some pretty big assumptions when you have only read 4 chapters.

I see your point. Mc did act somewhat reckless with the Heavenly Restriction but he had a reason to do also. Heavenly Restrictions are always absolute. They will always give a benefit proportional to what is lost. Complete crippling is a very low chance when most of the time you would end up with something like -10% strength +15% Max CE. I can't completely defend his decision as it was pretty reckless but there is also a reason for it. He had just gotten out of the void. The equivalent of the worst torture known to man. So he acted recklessly, he didn't think properly always assuming the worst because of what he just experienced making him have what is essential paranoia. He was obsessed with not dying again and acted recklessly by taking a heavenly restriction as he saw it as a way to get power to protect himself early on. He assumes the worst will happen because he was obsessed with the idea of dying again. So yes, the action of taking a Heavenly restriction was mostly reckless and stupid and he likely wouldn't have taken one if he were thinking normally. Thank you for pointing this all out by the way. Engagement like this helps me contemplate more on what happens in my fic and helps me improve it!

Dude, first thing he did is go to the dungeon and complain that he can't use his spell and after some small time skip, he is still complaining that he can't use his spell, if he train it first he'll be able to clear the dungeon more efficiently, If that isn't brute forcing things then, you must have a different understanding of it. And he complains again about a skill book that needs requirements, all he does is complain and complain, For someone who experience practically unknown amount of time in the void, where he can't move, see or do anything, He sure does complain For being able to move again and feel something again.Now he isn't smart either, so what if he's in DXD, even if it's a cruel world, if you're not the MC he still have a lot of time. He doesn't even need to interact with the devils, Train in those 3 days, quit school and transfer somewhere, that'll give him enough power for mid tier enemies. The plot literally is just him complaining, when it's not even too complicated. It also forces him to grind the dungeon because he feels a sense of dread to meeting the devils, when his energy is an unknown one, You woulda think they will know something unknown, when they are just dmb brats that doesn't have proper thinking. Heck they don't even have a senjutsu because Koneko is scared of it.Sure I've only read only 4 chapters, but what do I do when I gets annoyed with all the complaining over and over. I won't be able to stand it, if someone is, good for them. Now if you really understand the story and your all so great about it, then, properly explain the plot and mention all the flaws and the good.

Author, I see and acknowledge your point, but the truth of the matter is, no one enjoys reading about an mc that jumps at every shadow and constantly complains about how unfair his life is when he has every opportunity for growth others would sell their souls for, believe me, I truly don't mean to be rude here, but the mc as is right now is just simply unlikeable, I hope he gets decent character development soon.

dunno, but am guessing this is going to end up as a Pokemon harem considering the MC isn't exactly a model for self-discipline and restraint.
Hector_Infante:Sooo.... How many in the harem, because if this is a pokemon harem, no my cup of tea [img=faceslap][img=faceslap]
